Dzheyms Poskett pereosmyslivaet istoriyu znaniya, oprovergaya ideyu o tom, chto sovremennaya nauka — eto isklyuchitelno zapadnoe izobretenie. On ubeditelno demonstriruet, kak progress voznikaet v rezultate sotrudnichestva i obmena znaniyami blestyaschih umov iz raznyh stran mira. Ot vazhnogo vklada arabskih uchenyh v evropeyskuyu nauku do bogatstva drevnekitayskoy meditsiny, botaniki i farmakologii, v knige raskryvaetsya mnogoobrazie nauchnyh dostizheniy za predelami privychnyh nam geograficheskih i kulturnyh granits. Slushateli uznayut ob osmanskom astronome, zahvachennom v plen piratami; afrikanskom rabe, iskavshem lekarstvennye travy na plantatsii v Yuzhnoy Amerike; meksikanskom genetike, sobiravshem obraztsy krovi olimpiyskih sportsmenov. Priznavaya znachimost traditsionnogo nauchnogo kanona, avtor udelyaet vnimanie politicheskomu kontekstu, kotoryy formiroval nauchnyy diskurs, i predlagaet vseobemlyuschiy vzglyad na istoriyu nauki.
